The pride and joys of his life were his wife, children, grand-children and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father, Clinton E. Ward Sr., mother Mary Lou Souders, step-father Fred Souders, sister Marty Lou Welch and husband Tom Welch, grandchildren, Amanda, James and Brandon Farrar.
